Why is this thread still here?! LOL F that whole company. LMS should have just stuck it out a little longer, they would've sold a bunch of kits by now. I now boost 7.5lbs no problem.

Given you gained the 2.5 lbs by swapping intercoolers rather than changing the pulley (which can be a dangerous way to gain boost) and you said you haven't done any datalogging at all to see what your A/F ratios are (or anything else going on in the motor I imagine), I'm not so sure you're boosting 7.5 psi with 'no problem' yet :P

(I honestly hope you are fine, I'm just someone who'd be a lot more **** about being sure exactly what's happening when boosting a high compression engine).


I still doubt they'd sell terribly many kits at $6000 though compared to an IS-F.

if that USB is-f in the youtube clips is the same one as the USB is-f in the below thread:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...us-to-you.html

i'd hardly consider that a "good job".
